Thrustmaster TX leather edition

[Des Bain]

Thought I would share my settings just to get in the mix and see what others think.

In TM control panel I have:
MG= 100%
Constant= 100%
Periodic= 100%
Spring=50%
Damper=50%

In-Game
Gain=70%
Min. Force=2

Finding this is giving a nice consistent feeling of weight with no radical twitches/vibrations.
Using a set of Fanatec CSL Pedals with load cell at 60% too, good sense of weight there also.

Rig has a i5 7600K 3.8ghz with GTX 1060 6GB with 16gig of RAM which is doing this release justice.

I would like to buy this steering wheel, do you like this steering wheel?

Yeah for sure.... I have previously owned Logitech DFGT, G25 and then the G27. These were a great learning curve re: wheels but this is definitely worth the expense for the delivery you get!!!
A sound investment if you are looking to stick with sim racing....

Thanks men

Can you confirm that altering Spring and Damper does make a difference as I have a T500RS and these sliders make no difference at all, I didn't get around to trying Periodic as it was obvious there was an issue with ACC's FFB implementation (confirmed by devs).

Thanks

Changed the set-up to these settings and it is better....

In TM control panel I have:
MG= 75%
Constant= 100%
Periodic= 100%
Spring=00%
Damper=00%

In-Game
Gain=75%
Min. Force=5

I did try my original settings with
Spring=00%
Damper=00%
and could not really feel a noticeable difference....

anyone have any new setting for the TX as 6/13/19

Hi,

I am also interested in a recommended setting for the TX wheel.

I currently have this:

In TM control panel I have:
MG= 100%
Constant= 100%
Periodic= 0%
Spring=0%
Damper=0%

In-Game
Gain=90%
Dynamic Damping=80%
Min. Force=0

I believe time ago I read about setting Periodic, Spring and Damper to 0, kind of similar what I used to do with the Logitech wheels. But when I apply those settings I get no FF at all on rFactor2. On ACC it feels quiet well. Also, is it OK not to use a LUT on AC/ACC for the TX?

Thanks

Just found this topic on Kunos forums:
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/what-is-damping-in-ffb.55408/#post-1030279
So basically states Periodic and Spring are not used at all, so any setting on the panel does not affect.
Damper will be used only when car is stationary.

In-Game
Gain=90%
Dynamic Damping=80%
Min. Force=0

I find 90% pretty strong. I use 70% max (sometimes slightly lower) on my T300 w/c is enough & avoids clipping.

True, 90% is still kind of strong, but I do not get that much clipping. I will try reducing and see how it feels.

Keep spring and damper at default, they do not work the way you've been told they work, so setting them to 0 achieves nothing apart from possibly taking some of the intended effects from FFB in some games. (I don't think rF2 or ACC is one of those games, though, so technically setting these to 0 shouldn't matter, but neither does keeping those at default, so it's the more sensible option.)

And certainly don't set periodic to 0. (That's a new one even for me, tbh.)

T300 doesn't really clip even when set to 100 % gain. Any clipping you'd get would be on the game's side (which is independent on the FFB gain set in the wheel's control panel anyway - you can get clipping from the game even with the wheel's FFB gain set to say 20 %) and you'd want to adjust it directly in the game in that case, adjusting the wheel's gain would achieve nothing.

Not sure if you mean 100% in-game or in CP. I was referring to in-game gain, w/c I don't set > 70% (in ACC). In TM CP I have all at 100%.

@JoelGL Yeah, looks like I got a bit lost in the posts. Now I see that part was referring to in-game settings. Sorry. And yes, in that case that's right, ACC does clip a lot above say 75 %.
